Antigen-binding proteins are protein chain sections of an antibody that recognise and join to antigens as they enter the body. Antigens are also proteins which are recognised by the particular antibody. Once these proteins bind to antigens, they present them to cells known as presenting cells, which in turn introduce the antigen to the T cells responsible for mounting an immune response which destroy the antigen.
